I don’t understand What it’s like to walk a mile in your skin I can’t say I know Because the fact is I’ll never be you The hate that you face For simply being who you are I’m sorry it took so long For me to say anything at all My silence Creates their violence To the ones like me Whose privilege is clear You have to realize What you need to hear If you listen and learn from the oppressed You can use your voice And help make the difference If you refuse to take action You’ve chose your side Fed into their racist agenda Looks like their trap’s caught another rat Look, learn, and listen White silence equals violence

Back2Basics 02:32
Talk, Talk it up You can say what you want When you hide behind a screen No consequences there When you hide in fear Try your hardest to be heard but not seen Time to go back To more barbaric times When you meant what you said And you do what you say A basic way of life Where things get laid to rest It’s time to get back to basics Talk, Talk it up You can say what you want When you hide behind a screen No consequences there When you hide in fear Try your hardest to be heard but not seen Sooner or later you’ll pay Talk a lot of shit with nothing to say You can only hide for so long Cause in the end the wolf always finds it’s prey Talk, Talk it up You can say what you want When you hide behind a screen No consequences there When you hide in fear Try your hardest to be heard but not seen You gotta get back to the basics

These ghost haunt my mind Bring back the pain of my past They show me the face of guilt I can’t seem to shake this shame Tortured by the voices in my head They keep saying I’m better off dead Monsters creep in to my sight Is this the day I end my life My demons are screaming inside Take away the pain and free them tonight These ghost haunt my mind Bring back the pain of my past They show me the face of guilt I can’t seem to shake this shame Tortured by the voices in my head They keep saying I’m better off dead Monsters creep in to my sight Is this the day I end my life My demons are screaming inside Take away the pain and free them tonight I want to die

Stolen Land 01:54
Blood on my hands Passed down from generations before Taught to forget The people massacred for a piece of land I take no pride Knowing what had happened Fueled by greed And need for consumption They brought disease False gods and corruption Promised you life But gave you destruction Herd you like cattle For their construction They showed you death You’re first introduction Stripped everything You’re deconstruction Blood on my hands Blood on my hands Not a native to this land Lineage of death and destruction The new America God Bless this corruption
